Understanding Light

The term light is used frequently in areas of musical lyrics, poems, theology, philosophy, and other areas as well. Many of those areas are
subjective and thus can cause confusion on the actual meaning of the word "light." This isn't to say that the word couldn't have an absolute
meaning, its just to say that many project it to mean different things based on a persons perspective.

My understanding of light is information or knowledge. The reason being is because when light is in the physical world, it is merely a vehicle to
deliver information. Light is experienced and is subjective just like knowledge can be for an individual. By experienced I mean that we don't see
electromagnetic waves, we see colors, brightness, and more specifically objects. Our eyes take the data from the light and process them into a image

I would like to get your perspective on what light means to you.

I read somewhere once that sailors need the dark in order to be able to navigate the sea.

The darkness is where our creativity lies, we need it to be able to grow. As in the dark we seek the light,
the light to me represents the understanding, the ability to put things into perspective. To see clearly what before was unseen.

If you have a dark room, and shine a torch around it, the things that you point the torch at will become manifest.

I agree with your conclusion that light is information, it is what the bible calls the "Word". Words are information, so is light, so the image we see
is the Word of God and we are the Word made flesh.

I think you'll enjoy the thread I made a few days ago, if you care to you can check it out.
